HN is essentially the only news source that I consume in addition to local news that are likely to have stories that do affect me personally. When I stopped reading X, I had this t…

It's called "tacit knowledge" and I think we generally overindex on explicit, formal knowledge and ignore tacit knowledge. You can see that with language learning, we treat languag…

I'm using eigenrobot's (X user) prompt for ChatGPT and the style is very recognizable. Everything lowercase, tone, zoomer abbreviations, esotheric style of jokes.

Telegram wasn't fully blocked in Russia even for a single day. They tried to block it and failed miserably. The team actively circumvented the blocking by deploying to new IPs fast…

> GPT4 alone will especially not be that useful for analytical work. However, developers can make it a semi-capable analyst for some use cases by connecting it to data lakes, descr…

Thank you for your game, kind stranger, I've just wasted my day.

You can edit any of your messages in ChatGPT and the chat will start from there. Not quite branching, because you will lose the old "branch".

Oh, I recently moved to Israel, and at first was shocked with how much worse design in general is. Like, typography, ads and of course UI. There are maybe 3-4 common fonts used eve…

I imagine this word should be of Indoeuropean origin, Eastern Slav words for a mill also contain m-l-n (e.g. melnitsa). Modern English lost the "n" part, but it was present in Midd…

I did the same thing, but also mapped Caps Lock to Cmd+Shift+Ctrl+Option (so-called Super key) when it's pressed together with another key. Useful for application switching and oth…

Oh, I actually received such a call from a government-funded polling agency while still in Russia. Told them everything I think about it (which was still somewhat difficult despite…

A better idea would be to use custom inputs that produce "typos" that the user didn't make. E.g. you have a "zip/postal" code field and your input sneakily swaps 2 neighbouring cha…

There's another thing that was different at Euromaidan vs current Russia: Yanukovich and his people had somewhere to run (Russia). Putin doesn't.

Also Estonia isn't a prime destination for Russians in this situation. Countries that don't require a visa are. Yesterday 42 passenger planes landed in Yerevan (Armenia), normal nu…

It's a huge pile of money and other stuff (like gold) that the central bank can sell if the want to support the Ruble. Basically they sell dollars and buy rubles on the open market…

Ummm, yes. There’s Shpilkin’s famous research (dont know if available in English) suggesting that about 30% of latest Duma election ballots were fake. And what people also don’t un…

Yeah, I think this time period will be called "The Great Cancelling of Russia" in the history books.

Persecuting Russians who oppose the invasion, who fled Russia and went to the West because they don't want to be associated with the regime, is just plain stupid. These people are …

This is incorrect. Electoral rating of Putin (as of 2021) is around 30%. The central election committee will just declare the results that Putin wants. People in the West who live …

I wouldn't agree. Of course there's a push for homogenisation because everyone has to speak Russian, which is the official language of the state, but nobody is stopping people in t…

Interesting, just yesterday I discussed with a friend of mine how dumb it is for Putin to attack and try to capture Kiev, because urban warfare is very difficult and usually leads …

Well, it's complicated. I think Putin's understanding of a "Nazi" is deeply connected to the Russian trauma of WWII that the West still doesn't get. Russians believe that due to th…

It is a page with a schematic depiction of a floor lamp. "Click anywhere to turn the light on/off" is written below. When you click, the light turns on or off depending on the prev…

Look up the stuff David Sinclair is doing with his team. They are already rejuvenating and regrowing severed optic nerves with Yamanaka factors in mice and are preparing to start h…
